Title	Single Server Example
DateSubmitted	26 Jul 2009
CaseStudyType	TeachingCaseStudy
OperationsResearchTopics	SimulationModelling
ApplicationAreas	Telecommunications Networks
ProblemDescription	An application server receives requests for jobs, e.g., to view a web page. More coming soon!
ProblemFormulation	Coming soon!
ComputationalModel	The attached flash movie shows how to build a simulation model of the Single Server Example in Arena: Single Server Arena Tutorial
Results	Once your Arena model is complete, you can run the model for multiple replications and get estimates for various different quantities: Running the Single Server Model in Arena
Conclusions	Coming soon!
ExtraForExperts	Rather than run trial replications in order to estimate how many replications are necessary to ensure the accuracy of a particular output, we can use dynamic simulation. Dynamic simulation measures the accuracy, i.e., half-width, of an output at the end of each replication and stops replicating once the desired accuracy has been achieved. In Arena, this is implemented by setting the maximum number of replications "on the fly". However, this means that one extra replication is always performed. See the attached flash movie for a tutorial on implementing dynamic simulation: Dynamic Simulation for the Single Server Model in Arena
